bug

Hi all, so I just installed Parallels 20 on my new M4 Pro MacBook Pro and noticed a weird bug with the trackpad which occasionally is popping up and bugging me. Basically, if I'm scrolling in an app, it seems like the scroll direction will randomly flip on me. I'll be scrolling down, the app...

I just migrated from iMac to a Mac mini and downloaded the latest version. The version is 7.0.0 on Sequioa 15.4. I am sure Google/Alphabet must have tinkered with video settings because I could download videos Friday. Today, Sunday, I get the dreaded error message stating I should right-click...

The Parallels Shared Folder (\\psf\Home directory) becomes inaccessible to the guest OS (Windows 11) when more than 4032 files have been opened. When the files are closed the directory becomes accessible again. This is an issue when running certain tools in that directory (i.e. running a Visual...

Hi, I need to create a development environment inside my M1 chip Mac. I'm running Sequoia 15.3.2 so I thought creating a Sequoia 15.3.2 VM would have been the easiest solution. Well, I was wrong. First of all, there are no ISO/DMG ready to be used (problem of Apple I know). I followed several...

It seems that Firefox running under Debian Bookworm arm64 on Parallels has issues rendering certain web pages. In particular https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=foo&iaxm=maps is a reliable reproducer. Trying to open it freezes the Firefox UI, and the page is not rendered. This happens only if drm...

ubuntu 22.04 on intel mac loses keyboard (sometimes) when mac sleeps. I can click on my terminal, but cannot type into it

Hi, When sending numerical characters trough the android client they are seen as if the shift key ( is/is not ) pressed. Eg instead of 12345, i get !@#$%^& For normal letters if functions perfectly. We have already tried multiple combinations of keyboards etc to see if this matter but so...

In the latest Parallels Desktop 20.2.2, with WSL correctly installed (on an Intel Mac), there seems to be a glitch in the Windows file manager: there, as we know, a "Linux" entry is created by WSL in the sidebar, and this should normally open an "Ubuntu" folder with the Linux file system inside...

I am running Parallels 20 on a 2022 Air M2. Has been working fine. Today I selected shutdown and update. It has been stuck on updating Parallels Tools for an hour. I force quit. Restart parallels tools and it displays the 37% screen again. I searched through the forum but didn't find an...

Copy/paste has also recently stopped working for me. I've read the various entries in the forum, checked the configuration, reinstalled parallels tools, restarted Windows, restarted my MacBook, uninstalled Avast, and re-downloaded and re-installed Parallels. It still doesn't work. I haven't...

On various Linux distributions (Debian 12.6, Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40) when dragging to the edge of the screen, a black window appears and covers the entire screen in the guest. This behavior is really annoying and occurs when doing things like, for example, selecting some text that happens to be...

So we all know what happened to VMware Fusion. I was finally at my wits' end and decided to start a Parallels trial because USB device passthrough stopped working in guests. However, even after the installation of the guest additions, I still get the infamous "Configuring <VM name>. Preparing...

I need to ask about licensing. I try to contact Parallels. I see the attached message. GBP 0.00 looks OK. As soo as I click on it the resulting page says I have to buy a license for $99. Is this a typo, incompetence or just misleading information. Not sure I will bother. Can anyone suggest a...

Hello, I am trying to add a mac OS guest using the default option to download the image. I have also tried downloading the image (ipsw) and starting installation that way. Both options have the same result. I turned on advanced logging, but it does not seem to change the log output. It is very...
